I tend to believe that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette worlds are separate from the regular old celebrity gossip world. I know that People Magazine, In Touch and Us Weekly all cover the Bachelor/ette people and even give them cover stories, but that’s all part of corporate synergy. Basically, I really look for any excuse to ignore gossip-narratives from the Bachelor/ette franchise because I feel like it’s fake gossip. But Fake Gossip is having a very strange crossover with real gossip and now I don’t know how to feel. Should I start watch The Bachelor or what? Okay, so the backstory is that Tyler Cameron was one of the guys on this just-finished season of The Bachelorette. Tyler was not chosen by Bachelorette Hannah in the finale – Hannah chose Jed Wyatt, who turned out to be a liar (and an idiot), and their engagement is already over. But Tyler Cameron was brought back in on the final show and he asked out Hannah and so everyone thought that Hannah would get a second chance with a good guy. Turns out that Tyler is enjoying his new fame though, and now he’s… dating GIGI HADID. What.
Tyler Cameron and Gigi Hadid are two dates in, and there may be more to come.
“Their dates are definitely real and he’s having a good time,” a source tells PEOPLE about the Bachelorette runner-up, 26, and the supermodel, 24, who were spotted together Sunday night, and then confirmed to be hanging out one night later. Still, labels should be put on the pairing, as the source explains, “it’s too soon to say Tyler and Gigi are ‘dating.’ “
“They’re both being purposefully coy,” the source adds.
Cameron, who finished second on Hannah Brown’s recent season of The Bachelorette, was spotted with Hadid at Soho House in Brooklyn on Sunday in a photo that surfaced on Twitter. While the photo was taken from behind, obscuring their faces, the man in the photo is wearing the same shirt Cameron was wearing in other social media posts from the same day. (Reps for both did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.) Just one night later, Cameron and Hadid hung out again, this time at Frames Bowling Lounge in New York City, PEOPLE confirmed. According to a source, they enjoyed a few hours of bowling in the lounge’s VIP suite with some friends, followed by an hour of karaoke.
Cameron’s first date with Hadid came two days after he was photographed leaving Brown’s Los Angeles lodgings on Friday morning. An insider told E! News they spent the night together. “I thought it went great. I think he did, too,” Brown, 24, told PEOPLE of their time together. “We had a great time. We talked everything out. It felt very normal.” Now, the source says that “Hannah is not thrilled” about news of Cameron and Hadid’s outings.
“It’s not that she doesn’t think he’s allowed to date other people, but it’s embarrassing,” the source explains.
So… wait, this dude was spending the night with the former Bachelorette lady, then he immediately went on two big dates with Gigi Hadid? And now Hannah is upset about it? I mean… this whole thing is probably going to be at least three tabloid covers, right? Also: Chris Harrison says that Cameron will not be the next Bachelor, which… I can understand, because why would you want to be The Bachelor when you’re already dating Gigi Hadid? Honestly though, I know the argument will be “Gigi can date whoever she wants, it’s not about fame for her,” but I seriously would have thought that Gigi is famous enough where she doesn’t have to date Bachelorette cast-offs? Is it just me or is that really weird branding for her?

Hannah asked him out, not the other way around
I’ve side eyed Gigi and her dating antics ever since I’ve heard how her and Zayn got together (and how she handled it with Joe Jonas). I don’t think it’s off brand for her- she loves to get attention with the guys she sees, and she’s definitely getting it.
How did Gigi and Zayn get together? How did she handle it with Joe Jonas? Give me the dirt please!
Also want to know more !
That guy was cute in the oldenday cowboy way, but he chewed gum all – the – time.
Please don’t judge me—I watch the Bachelor/ette franchise. Yes, as already noted, Hannah asked Tyler out in the finale, giving all the fans hope because Tyler seemed to be the unicorn in Bachelorette history—a genuinely good guy. Perhaps not entirely if he jumps from a sleepover at Hannah’s straight into Gigi’s fantasy suite, but hey, they’re all really young. Have fun, kids.
No judging from me, I do too.
I don’t watch, but I won’t side eye you for it lol. I’ve watched some pretty trash tv over the years.
That said, if I were him I certainly wouldn’t be putting all my eggs in the Hannah basket. I mean, if she choose the other dude (who by all accounts was a jerk) over him, I don’t blame him for not dropping everything and following her around. I say good for him for going out with Gigi, I hope they’re having some fun.
I’d imagine photos of him leaving Hannah’s place / agreeing to the date in the first place only benefits the franchise.
*slowly raises hand*
Bachelor in Paradise trash junkie here.
BIP is the best!!! ***runs and hides***
Honestly, zayn seemed to have so many issues, and the relationship seemed so troubled and codependent (I say this as someone who has lived codependency) that I’m thrilled she’s finally moving on, and with a seemingly healthy guy who goes out and does stuff. Almost anything that prevents her from going back to zayn seems like a good option.
I’m thinking him going to Hannah’s might have been more of a closure thing? He was also supposedly seen hanging around other models but he signed a contract with an agency I believe so that’s probably why.
I just don’t know if people should rag on him for it, he was genuinely into her on the show and she kept choosing terrible guys over him. I would probably stop at just friends with someone like that lol
She had a horrible picker.
I could not believe she liked that guy Jed so much, he seemed to have no personality at all!
I let out the most godawful groan when Jed walked out for his proposal with a freaking guitar lol
Honestly, all this season did was make me feel old and wish they would pick someone more mature and actually ready to settle down (mike for bachelor please!). I like trash tv but this was painful to watch lol
I had to fast forward over that guitar proposal! I could not bear it! My nightmare is someone serenading me.
He definitely should not be ragged for this. She chose another man over him. He’s just supposed to wait around and be excited to be someone’s second choice? No sir.
Yep. Reverse their roles and everyone would say she “could do better”.
Hahaha I love it! I think the shows are truly trash with trashy fame whores. That said hearing that the bachelorette is embarrassed this dude hooked up with someone right after hooking up with her is **chefs kiss**!! Tgese people truly deserve each other
I feel like the ultimate goal of these bachelor/bachelorette people is to claw their way to dating actual celebrities. (Example: Wells/Sarah Hyland, nick/January Jones).
That said I don’t see how him dating Gigi is any more embarrassing than Hannah dumping him for Jed. Plus he couldn’t really say no to her asking him out on live TV after her engagement was busted up. That would be just cruel.
I love watching these shows. They are so entertaining. It is amazing to me how easily some of the contestants are able to get themselves or get agents that hustle them into legit situations. One of the castoffs, Wells, just got engaged to a Modern Family actress. Another one of the former Bachelorettes, JoJo, just got a house flipping show with her fiancé on CNBC. It’s insane how much of a platform this show has turned out to be for people.
I get why GiGi jumped for him. He is a total catch, not the typical BN contestant. He is very mature, never said a single thing out of line. He seems to have a pretty stable financial situation. So I was not at all surprised by any of this. I hope he makes better decisions than Blake – who is the only other person I can think of who completely won America’s and Instagram’s hearts after their stints on Bachelorette. Just don’t be a f**kboy Tyler!!!!
Ugh on Blake. I thought he was one of the good guys. So disappointed. LOL
Omg Blake and his weird uncontrolled facial expressions, he’s just weird.
No guys you need to see the texts between Caelynn and Blake.
exactly. Gigi knows a good man when she sees one on TV. Why wouldn’t she go for it? I think it’s adorable. I’d do the same thing if I was as desirable as she is.
Good for Gigi! Tyler is hot and seems like a really good guy. The only thing Hannah should be embarrassed by is the fact that she chose Jed when it was clear he was not a good choice AT ALL.
Hannah should have picked Peter the Pilot.
Agree!
She passed up 4 times in the windmill for slimy Jed. Somehow though I don’t think Peters future is going to be too lonely.
Love me some Bachelor/ette so I’m glad to see you covering this. I don’t blame Tyler at all for dating around or Hannah for picking Jed. These people are young and doing exactly the same stuff I did in my 20’s when you are figuring it all out. All I ask is that you throw us fans a bone every once in awhile to discuss!
Check out the Blake/Caelynn drama from Paradise. He dropped the text receipts and things did not go down the way she claimed!
He sure did. Caelynn really needs to get over herself and Blake.
Tyler and Gigi are both 24,both models and both single. The pearl clutching is a bit much. Can young people just date and hook up anymore, why so serious?
Maybe she saw how well it worked out for a Sarah Hyland? Maybe she’s a huge Bachelorette fan and was stanning him.
Team Tyler here. He was very sweet to Hannah after being dumped by her in front of an audience of millions. I hope that he finds love, or at least has a lot of fun looking for love.
